Re: Changed Lazy Dog to How To Build F-Spot



While trying to build f-spot, I get the following error:

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=${HOME}/unstable/f-spot

**Error**: You must have `glib' installed to compile f-spot.

A naive attempt to install glib:

$ sudo apt-get install glib
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package glib

According to Synaptic, there is a package called libg++, so let's try that:

$ sudo apt-get install libg++
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package libg++ is a virtual package provided by:
  libg++27 2.7.2.1-19
  libg++2.8.1.3-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-22
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package libg++ has no installation candidate

I installed both of the packages listed above, to no avail.  I assume I should install some development package of glib (libg?), but I don't know which one(s).  Thanks again for the help.  To prevent this problem in the future, is it possible for configure.sh to be more specific in which package is missing?
